Oral-B Manual Toothbrush FAQs
How often should I replace my manual toothbrush?
Dentists recommend replacing your manual toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. Oral-B's color-indicator bristles turn white to signal when it's time for a new one.
What bristle firmness should I choose?
For most people, a soft-bristle toothbrush is the best and safest choice. Soft bristles are gentle on gums and enamel while still effectively removing plaque. Medium and firm bristles may be appropriate for some, but always consult your dentist.
Are Oral-B manual toothbrushes suitable for sensitive teeth?
Yes. Oral-B offers manual toothbrushes specifically designed for sensitive gums and teeth, featuring extra-soft bristles and gentle cleaning action to care for sensitive areas without causing irritation.
What is the best way to brush with a manual toothbrush?
Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Use short, gentle strokes in a back-and-forth motion. Brush all surfaces — outer, inner, and chewing — and don't forget to brush your tongue. Brush for at least 2 minutes, twice a day.
